RESUMO
The invention of imaginary worlds ("paracosms") is a creative activity of middle childhood that has previously been investigated primarily with retrospective adult reports and biographical accounts. In descriptions collected from 8- to 12-year-old children, the prevalence was 16.9% in Study 1 (n = 77) and 17.4% in Study 2 (n = 92). Children with and without paracosms did not differ in verbal comprehension, divergent thinking (Studies 1 and 2) or working memory (Study 2). However, children with paracosms had more difficulty with inhibitory control (Study 2) and had higher creativity scores on a story-telling task (Studies 1 and 2). Paracosms provided a vehicle for stories associated with imaginary companions and/or for developing complex narratives alone or with friends.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States. Genetic testing is critical in assisting in the early detection of CRC and selection of individualized treatment plans, which have shown to improve the survival rate of CRC patients. The tissue slide review (TSR), a tumor tissue macro-dissection procedure, is a required pre-analytical step to perform genetic testing. Due to the subjective nature of the process, major discrepancies in CRC diagnostics by pathologists are reported, and metrics for quality are often only qualitative. Progressive context encoder anomaly detection (P-CEAD) is an anomaly detection approach to detect tumor tissue from whole slide images (WSIs), since tumor tissue is by its nature, an anomaly. P-CEAD-based CRC tumor segmentation achieves a 71% 26% sensitivity, 92% 7% specificity, and 63% 23% F1 score. The proposed approach provides an automated CRC tumor segmentation pipeline with a quantitatively reproducible quality compared with the conventional manual tumor segmentation procedure.
RESUMO
The website Sci-Hub enables users to download PDF versions of scholarly articles, including many articles that are paywalled at their journal's site. Sci-Hub has grown rapidly since its creation in 2011, but the extent of its coverage has been unclear. Here we report that, as of March 2017, Sci-Hub's database contains 68.9% of the 81.6 million scholarly articles registered with Crossref and 85.1% of articles published in toll access journals. We find that coverage varies by discipline and publisher, and that Sci-Hub preferentially covers popular, paywalled content. For toll access articles, we find that Sci-Hub provides greater coverage than the University of Pennsylvania, a major research university in the United States. Green open access to toll access articles via licit services, on the other hand, remains quite limited. Our interactive browser at
